Because I simply love you

Chapter 11: Accusations

The owner?

"I am the owner of this restaurant, and she is my employee. I will not just keep on watching from the sidelines when you and your friends are harassing her." Nana said in a calm, yet firm manner, "even if you are the customers."

The man stood up in rage.

"Nonsense! When did I harass her? How can you accuse me like that?"

The third friend sneered, "Heh! Just because she is crying, you believe her? She was going to trip, and my friend just held her hand to support her. Does that count as harassment Miss Owner?"

He Xiaoli was very touched, seeing her boss standing up for her. She wanted to tell her that that was not what had happened! But she didn't want to implicate the restaurant's name because of it.

"Mam, it's okay..."

Nana patted her shoulders in reassurance. She then looked at him.

"I can show you the evidence that it wasn't any kind gesture on your part to help her. Once you take a good look at it, be ready to apologize."

"You! In your dreams! I will sue you for this. You can't just smear my name like that."

Just then, Yukito and Yukira came.

"Nee-chan, here is the footage."

Nana took the tab from them and said to the three men, "Here is the evidence. This is the security footage where it can be clearly seen that you were holding and gripping Xiaoli's hand against her will and refusing to let her go."

They were stunned. They never thought that it was all recorded. Before they could say any further, Nana played the clip.

It showed how Xiaoli came to their table with their food, and when she kept the tray down, a subtle movement could be seen where the man stretched out his foot a little, and she tripped. He held her hand to support but then started squeezing it.

She apologized and thanked him at first but then became a little uncomfortable when he still didn't leave her hand. It was clear that she tried to shake it off, but he just gripped it harder. His other two friends were smiling disgustingly.

Silence.

The other customers, too, started to give them dirty looks. "Poor girl."

"How disgusting!"

"Because of men like these girls cannot work freely."

"Perverts like you three should be put in jail."

All three of them were aghast. They panicked especially when they heard someone say 'jail.'

"Shut up!" Everybody got quiet.

"And you! You are trying to slander me. This is false evidence. Do you even know who I am? Otherwise, you wouldn't have dared to try to frame me like this!"

Nana looked at him in confusion.

"Heh! My father is Sun Yifeng."

Sun Yifeng was the chief of the police department of their locality. Some people believed that he used underhanded methods to gain extra money from corrupt politicians and drop charges against them. But there was no evidence, so people just kept quiet.

The other customers got scared. They didn't want to implicate themselves in a police case where Sun Yifeng was involved. He would surely protect his son. They immediately stopped talking.

The twins got angry. "Are you threatening us?"

Nana stopped them and glared at Sun Dong. "I don't care whoever your father is. I only know that you harassed my employee, and if you do not apologize, I have no problem with going to the police. I am the witness, and I got the footage. Even your father won't be able to save you."

Sun Dong got mad. She didn't back out even now. He wanted to teach her a lesson to mess with him. He took a stride forward and raised his hand to slap her, but just then, somebody stopped him and punched him on the face.

"That is enough." A man's cold voice came.

Sun Dong's mouth started bleeding.

"W-What? Who are you!"

"None of your concern." He then immediately made a call, which looked like he gave some instructions to somebody.

Sun Dong was still on the floor, covering his bleeding mouth. "You will pay for this!"

The man smirked. "We'll see about that."

Not more than two minutes later, they could hear a siren ringing from a distance. It was a police car.

A man in his fifties got out. He immediately went inside and saw his son in a sorry state. But he was more stupefied to see the man beside him.

Sun Yifeng wanted to curse his son. Idiot! Who did you just mess with!

Sun Dong was relieved to his father. "Dad! Look what they did to me! This owner girl tried to frame me, and this man over here punched me in the face. Arrest them now!"

Sun Yifeng got even angrier. He slapped his son hard and roared, "You! You harass a girl and still have the nerve to defend yourself? I am ashamed to call you my son!"

Before his son could create a mess any further, he talked to the man in front of him.

"Mr. Chen Jianyu, I sincerely apologize for my son's actions."
